What is now the plan for the new build system integration? It seems the 
RTEMS 5 release is getting closer. Should we ship the release with the 
new build system (not documented or documented in parallel with the old 
build system in the user manual)? I guess we will maintain the old build 
system for a while, so having both build systems in the RTEMS 5 branch 
and the master would make back ports easier since you can use git 
cherry-pick without getting conflicts in the build files. Having it on 
the release branch may help to get a bit more testing from the user 
side. A big disadvantage is that if we have to massively rework the new 
build system we may have to back port these changes to the release branch.

Independent of this, can I push the documentation changes in the RTEMS 
Software Engineering manual (not the User Manual)?
